Hundreds of Texas Methodist churches vote to split from the denomination after years of infighting over gay marriage and abortion.
The four United Methodist Church regional bodies in Texas approved requests from 439 congregations to disaffiliate from the second-largest U.S. Protestant denomination.

Most departing churches plan to join the breakaway Global Methodist Church, a more conservative offshoot that disagrees with a sizable portion of the UMC on same-sex marriage and homosexuality, among other issues.
About 546 of the 1,260 Methodist churches in Texas, or about 45 percent, are on the way out of the UMC.
I believe the Bible overly states God’s stand on this with the burning of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Romans 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, birds, fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served themselves more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen
Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Romans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient
Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an “example”, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
That settles it for eternity.
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
If you don’t go by the truth in the Bible, then you’re not serving the real God, and you’re just a churchgoer and not a Christian. The Bible says you are a reprobate serving yourself.
